problem w/ my 4201. 2 sets of headset jacks. Radio and IC work good on each jack/headset indpendently but the transmit function shuts down one side when both headsets are plugged in

The transmit function of the Becker AR 4201 could shut down when both headset jacks are in use due to an impedance mismatch in the microphone or headset connections. The radio requires specific impedance values: 150 ohms for the microphone and 600 ohms for the headset. If the combined load from both headsets does not match the expected impedance, it can cause incorrect operation of the radio’s internal gain circuitry, leading to distortion or shutdown. Additionally, poor soldering or faulty terminations during installation could also cause such mismatches and result in malfunction.
